Rashami Desai says Ranveer Singh, Johnny Sins’ commercial is ‘humiliating’ for TV industry: ‘It’s a slap’

She further wrote, “I’ve started my work from a regional film industry. And then started working in television industry. People call it a small screen. Where normal people watch news, cricket, all the Bollvwood films also, and much more. After watching this reel, which is highly unexpected, I felt it’s a humiliation to all the TV industry and people who work in television. Because we (are) always made feel smaller. Actors really wanna work on big screen too, this is how exactly we get treated. Everyone is working hard. But I’m sorry, TV show pe yeh sab nahi dikhate. This all happens on big screen. And nothing wrong in showing some reality but this is reality check for all the TV industry coz I feel it’s a slap. May be I am overreacting. But we show culture and love to our audience. And I am hurt coz I’ve had respectful journey in TV industry. Hope you all will understand the emotion.”

Netizens didn’t agree with the actor’s critcism of the advertisement. A user on Reddit wrote, “If you’re doing good TV shows, good for you, but the kind of TV shows that was parodied in the ad do exist. People make parodies of good movies as well. No big deal.” Another user wrote, “So true!! It’s not that serious plus it made us all chuckle.” A third user criticised Rashami’s take, and wrote, “Why are tv actors this sensitive?? Like pick any serial and it’s the most regressive mind numbing thing you would have ever watched.”

Ranveer posted the commercial on his Instagram on Monday, and was lauded by fellow actors. Other television actors such as Nakuul Mehta and Karan Kundrra were impressed. Nakuul commented, “Aceing my day job and how!”, while Karan wrote, “Hahahahahhaah killed it”.

Other celebrities such as Arjun Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Vikrant Massey and more also dropped encouraging comments on Ranveer’s advertisement. The collaboration between Ranveer and Johnny Sins comes as an endorsement for sexual wellness brand, and has been written by Tanmay Bhat, Vishal Dayama, Devaiah Bopanna, Puneet Chadha and Deep Joshi.
